I can get onto my brothers... but I'm fearing I may have to run to my dad, tears welling from my eyes

Another one for Mark's Morning Glory cartoon right there.

Damn that comic has infiltrated my brain in a sick way.

In a show of Microsoft superiority, my PC seems to be utterly buggered. If I try to open my account, it freezes up and nothing loads. I can get onto my brothers, but everything is running really slowly. Tried to system repair, wouldn't let me. Tried to system restore, won't let me do that. I'm running a full scan, but I'm fearing I may have to run to my dad, tears welling from my eyes, and show that I'm still utterly inept with technology. Yaaaaaay.

You'll know better what to do in the future should this happen again. A plus, in my book.

Run to my dad? Seriously, I'm no good with any technology which isn't based around sound. I have managed to make sewing machines set on fire.

Spontaneously? With one glare from your magic eye? That is a very cool power to have.

Dude, you could be The Sweatshop Avenger!

But then where would all the slave children go?

A local radio station pulling a stupid stunt called '"Hug a 'Ginga' Day" - referred to on TV by one of the DJ's as an AMNESTY.

Just in case any of you are at a loss to what a 'Ginga' is, it's a redhead. And it's said "Geeng-ah" (or something close to it), rather than anything like the word 'Ginger' and is obviously a derogatory term I have heard far too often in my lifetime, along with 'carrot top' and 'gingernut' and other such things.

I know kids are cruel and redheads for some fucking stupid reason get teased mercilessly and are generally the butt of all jokes when it comes to hair colours. It just sort of makes me sick that they're basically saying "It's okay if you're a 'Ginga', we'll pity you one day a year, in a completely mocking way, and continue teasing you the rest of the year'.

Maybe I'm just so butthurt over it because I am a redhead and I have been teased all my life - and it just seems to be giving the ridicule redheads face the green light - and everyone's okay with that? If they'd done 'Hug a Coconut Day' the polynesians would have been up in arms over it, no doubt. Derogatory names are derogatory regardless of whether it's about race or hair colour - it all adds up to one thing: NO RESPECT.

...i'll stop rambling now, but goddamn it if anyone tries to pity-hug me on this disgusting day I will personally dismember them.

my ex-was a redhead. youre all a bunch of whiney cry babies

and if you think you have it bad, they call red heads in Australian RANGA'S!

Yes. We get that here, too. It's equally as disgusting.

While I'm sorry you've been hassled for being a redhead, I'm pretty sure humans as a whole rag on each other for whatever little reasons we can think of at the time. If not being a redhead, I'm sure something else would come up.

I used to get it for my complexion or the jewness, but I think it helps if you can ever let it go. I know that's easier said than done, but when it's something you can just kinda ignore, a lot of your troubles melt away.

They'd be drafted into Mark's Morning Glory cartoon. It's a tough life.

I'm a redhead too and I have been poked at all the time in school years (Just finished last year) But in the end it meant nothing to me. Sure I could be fighting back and all at them, but thats just useless, especially when its over hair colour. I don't know, I've kinda gotten used to it, and starting to like the word ranga for some weird reason.

I prefer Ginger Ninja though. That just sounds epic.

I'd want to hug you because you're foxy as hell. Any excuse'll do!

I don't get bothered by name-calling on a daily basis - haven't for a long time, but I need to clarify - it's this event the radio station has created that has me angry. The event is what I am angry about, not the teasing (Nobody really dares call me any names anyhow - they know the Wrath of Rhia too well). The event basically promotes being cruel, so long as you make up for it by giving them a hug once a year. Just pisses me off. Especially with how fucking cocky the jocks on the station are being about it.
